That letter I sent confiding in him about some of the things that are happening might have had something to do with. He told to write things down in here. To use it as a record for whatever I wish to write down inside it. I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try. <p>

▩ Am I really ugly? That group of girls keep calling me ugly. Saying my hair is dyed or fake. I know it's not, but it hurts. Then there are others who say the opposite. They tell me pretty. Some boys have even said I was...I was cute. <s> I'm not cute. I can't be cute, not when I feel like I'm always sad. </s> That I don't believe, but it made me feel better. I want to believe them. I want to be pretty, but the mean comments are always louder in my head. <p>

▩ I was slow to leave a few of my classes, hesitating over whether to talk to some of the professors. I thought about opening up. Telling them about the girls who bully me. Yet as the minutes ticked by, my nails digging into the flesh of my hand, I chickened out. I don't know if any of the professors noticed me lingering. If they did they didn't say anything. <p></div></div></div>

Okay first of all I don’t know if I can call any of these ‘wanted plots’ necessarily, though most of them could be cool to explore and/or try out. Most of these are just random ideas I had at some point, and that kind of just got tossed aside for whatever reason. Usually because I was nervous about asking for some of them, or just didn’t know how to approach people. Cause I am shy and timid xD Still all of are plots I would love to try to play out, if anyone is interested in taking the bait.

But yeah, let’s list these ideas. And if anyone is interested in any of them, then please feel free to hit me up. Or hit me up to throw in your own ideas if you want 8D

Alison Levesque – Obviously she could use people to hook up with, and just general flirting buddies. I also really like the idea of her having a childhood best friend. Like someone who has developed a crush on her, but hasn’t really said anything to her. Like they jealously watch from a corner while she hits on all the guys, but also always has her back when she needs it. They’d balance each other out. And he’d be like some who’s maybe perfect for her, but she doesn’t realize it yet. Maybe never will, until she finds herself on the receiving end of a horrid relationship. On the other side, any guys want to take advantage of her. She could use those too.

Brynjar Hansen – Oh Bryn, how I love you. But I also love breaking my characters, and your so gentle and sweet that I almost feel compelled to break you in some way. Pretty much he’s just a nice guy. Someone who likes making others smile, and is always encouraging. He’s also a secret romantic, and has his own insecurity issues that he never talks about. Pretty much I want him to get involved in a relationship that could leave him heartbroken. Maybe it’s a mistake, and the two really do grow to care for each other but the girl messes up in some way? Or maybe a girl sees his genteelness as something to take advantage of, and use him temporarily for whatever reasons? Honestly, I just want him to get trapped in some kind of dramatic relationship.

Claire Dubois – She’s cynical af, and often parties and lives on the wild side as a way to hide her own insecurities. Like I say, she’s very much an introvert living an extroverted lifestyle. Mostly cause emotions suck. I really, really want someone to maybe witness her more vulnerable side. Maybe become a sort of confident which can lead into a friendship. On the other side, if anyone wants to take advantage of her then I’m always down for breaking her. I love Claire, and I just want more things to do with her. Like seriously, she might be one of my favorite students. -pets her-

Dana Petrov – Dana has always been my character who I can see as going either way. She can easily fall to the dark side, or she can become a badass auror. I honestly don’t know where she’ll go, and she needs some help to be bent either way. This year she’s pretty much in the midst of having a mental breakdown, and coming to the realization that no matter what she does she will never live up to the expectations her father has for her. I kind of want a romance plot for her. I want her to meet a nice guy who is there for her, and offers to let her confide him. Preferably he’d be older (around 20-21), but another student might work. I don’t, we can talk. I just want her to meet a nice boy, and the two of them can have a long, slow burn romance if things work out. Or there can be more than one, and we can play things out until she has to choose. Alternatively, near the end of the year she is going to learn more about her mother. How the woman died, as well that she was half-blood? Which means that Dana herself isn’t pureblood, and her father has been lying to her about that in years. So, she could be manipulated into falling down darker paths. Maybe develop interest in necromancy, in a strange hope to meet her mother? I don’t know. She’s torn between two paths, and I just…I just want things to happen that can help lead down one or the other. Or maybe tear her even further…where she continues to linger in-between, unsure which is the right path for her. cause the gray area feels so right.

Lucas Vanetti – Oh Luke, I’m sorry but I’ve been getting random ideas for you since the day I snagged you up. I love him, and I’m always excited for new plots and scenarios to throw him into. Pretty much I just want to push him out of his comfort zone more. Maybe throw him into a romance plot. Like a girl maybe asks him on a date and he hesitantly accepts? Maybe she’s someone who people think is far from his type, but the two end up hitting it off pretty well? Or he can be set up on several blind dates, maybe even as a prank or someone trying to help him? I don’t know. I’m up for anything. But come on, I think this boy needs to experience some kind of romance plot.

I also have an idea of his father getting released from Azkaban, and him kind of freaking out over that. I don’t know when would be a good time for it to happen, especially with spellcraft this year, but he needs to have a point where he breaks down.

Another idea is for him to have a Professor who takes an interest in him, and sort of helps to mentor him. Like they help him figure out what he should do after school, like what kind of career he should pursue. Of course, it doesn’t have to be a professor, any adult will do if you have other ideas.

Shaundi Severin - This is something I’ve always wanted to play out since I first made her like six years ago. (Damn, I’ve been playing her for a long time) In short, I want her to get involved in a horrible and abusive relationship, one that leaves her broken. It doesn’t even have to be a relationship per say, just her falling for a guy who ends up abusing her and hurting her in some way. I’d also like for her to meet someone else who kind of restores her and helps her to heal. Or multiple people. In the past, I’ve plotted with someone where the character had a crush on her, whereas she never noticed. The character also taught her to play guitar, and the two had a lot of fun together. They were meant to be finals, but nothing ever happened in the end. So, I think it could be fun to maybe try to play out something similar to that. And just see how it goes.

Okay this list is getting kind of long, and I think that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. All my other characters are open for plotting too, of course. These are just some precise ideas that I’ve had during the past year, but never mentioned or kind of tossed them aside to focus on posting and keeping up with what I already have.

If none of these interests you, then you’re free to throw your own ideas at any of my characters. I’ll probably update this thread from time to time as I remember and/or come up with new ideas. So, if nothing catches your eye right now, feel free to keep checking back. I get random burst of ideas constantly, so it probably won’t be long before I need to update this. So yeah hit me up, you 8D

with 2017 coming to an end, and the new year fastly approaching I thought this could be an interesting thread to make. I don't know about you all, but I often like trying to kick off a new year with a fresh start. Or at least with some goals in mind, that way I can give myself something to look forward to. Something to aspire to.

I personally want to do whatever I can to try to make 2018, a year of Crystal. For me personally. Meaning I'm gonna try take more time to take care of myself. And do what I can to be happy.

So yeah I gots goals...that I want to try to do in order to help me do that.

Eat healthier. (less junk food, and more greens.)

exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, six days a week

write daily (doesn't have to be a post, or even a full page. Just gotta get words down)

draw daily

make more of an effort to play games with friends. maybe establish a weekly game night or something

try to be more outgoing (I might start by just making an effort to speak more in D&D. I don't know if it's just me, but I've started to feel like maybe I don't contribute as much as I should. And maybe I need to try to be more outgoing/speak more.)

go out more. go to the movies, or just do something fun that gets me out of the house at least once a week

Socialize more

Make actual progress on my novel. Even if I only finish one chapter every three months, it's better than sitting around and thinking about it.

I think that's it. I'll probably add more throughout the year, or revise things as needed. But this is pretty much a basic plan. And hopefully, I won't fail miserably xD

One of my favorite things about rping is thinking up little scenarios or situations that my characters might take part in. Or small facts about them that I may not write out in posts, but I like to envision that they do.

I'm pretty sure a few of us have all shared a few of our headcanons in Discord. Or at least I think I remember some being mentioned in the past. That inspired me to make this thread (though I'm a lil late), so we can have one place to post all our headcanons. And also provide an easy record of all the ones that we've all shared.

So share your headcanons. I'm curious what everyone has come up with, and I know I have plenty for most of my characters. I'll share mine later. For now, I just wanted to get this thing started cause yeah...I'm curious. And it could be fun.

<div class="body"><div class="scroll"> most of her personality is open. What's important is she's quite outgoing, and not quite like Finley. They sort of have contrasting personalities. I have always envisioned her as being passionate and kind-hearted, someone who makes friends easily. She also has a strong love for dance, and is aspiring to become a star on stage one day. I kind of already her as being a rising star, or at least someone who has the media's attention. But she's not there, maybe doesn't even realize how close she is. She could even be like Finley in the sense, that she's always underestimating her own talents. <p>• History - most of her history is open to whoever takes her, particularly after Finley goes to live with her father. But there are a few crucial things I feel are kind of important to the character. like ....

<p>She started dancing when she was around five, and I feel their mother went to great measures to make sure Delilah had the best instructors.<p>Their parents separated when Finley was around six years of age, during the winter. So she would have been at Hogwarts at the time. How and when she found out is up to you, as well as how she reacted. I imagine her reaction would depend on how close you would have wanted her to be with their father.<p>Even after going to live with their father, Finley tried as best she could to keep in touch with her sister. Writing letters and such. So I feel like they might have been able to keep fairly close, unless...<p>... unless if for whatever reason their mother decided it was best for her to not talk to her father or sister, with the woman doing whatever she could to keep Delilah from keeping in touch with the rest of her family. Maybe Finley's letters never reached her, or maybe if they did keep in touch it was in secret. I don't know, we can always discuss things if you want. But I kind of like the idea of there being some drama because that's always fun to play out XD<p>After graduating Hogwarts, she went on to train more in a professional dance studio some more before starting to perform professionally. Currently she is a dancer, though I don't think she's really big yet. Maybe a rising talent sort of deal, like someone who people are beginning to take an interest in.<p>uh... I think that's about it. Most everything else is open, and I'm more than happy to discuss things. ^____^

<p>• I want to let you have as much creative freedom as possible because I hate the idea of holding back anyone's ideas. However, I'd love to talk plots and other things anytime you'd like. You're free to toss her into any plots you may like, or do whatever you want with her. Though anything that would affect Finley (like death, marriage, ect...) I'd like to know about, if only so her sister can be sort of involved.<p>• Feel free to contact me. I'm on the Tatem discord pretty much all the time, or you can dm me @YoRHaCrystal#0651 on Discord. </div></div>

<div class="body"><div class="scroll"> This is the kickass sister to Thorir Nystrom. Age is anywhere between 38 and 42. I'd love to have her because she's badass, and has always been there for her bro. <p>As for her personality, it's more or less very open. I picture her as being badass, and a no-nonsense sort of individual when on the job. She's an auror, and takes her job very seriously. Other than that I don't really want there to be a deep sibling rivalry between the two. Where one may have existed in the past, whatever any sort of rivalry would have diminished over time. Though she's always been protective of her lil' bro cause she loves her family. Even if as a small six year old she spent days acting spoiled, and protesting the thought of having a brother. That was before Thor was even born though XD. Bratty only children, amirite? Seriously though she's super loyal to her family, and would do anything to protect them. Or even just be there for him. Growing up they weren't always super close, but there was a moment in his life where she was there for him when no one else was. She more or less helped pull him out of a horrible downward spiral, and probably saved his life to be honest. Then when his ex completely upped and left him out of nowhere, she was there to offer her support once again. <p>I'm also leaving a bunch of her history up to whoever takes her. As children they were never really, close due to the age gap so she could have done her own thing. She did attend Durmstrang, and would have been a sixth year when Thor began attending. Other than that her school years are up to you. What house she was, and any kinds of clubs and activities she got herself involved in. Like her brother, I do imagine her as being more into physical activities rather than sitting down for long hours studying, but she would have worked hard when needed. She became a pretty successful auror, so her grades were pretty good. Then what she did after school is mostly open? There are a couple times where she was there for her brother and helped pull him out of a rough spot. Their father's death really hit him hard because of circumstance that left him feeling incredibly guilty. He was 21 when it happened, so she'd be 26/27. I think? But after that their relationship took on a whole new level, and they became closer as brother and sister. Then she was also there for him later after his ex left him when he was 33. Other than that she's pretty much open. She can be married, if you want. Maybe have a kid or two. Or she can be dating, or still single. There's a bunch of open details for you to decide on. I just want someone to take her, and make her awesome. <p>Other than being Thorir's sister, there's room for her to also plot with his ex if someone takes her. I kind of think Hanna will hate Kat on principal. So lots of fun drama to be had there. <p>While I'm allowing a lot of freedom, I might be a little picky as to her relationship with her brother. I want them to be really close, since there was a time when she was pretty much all he had. She helped him through some dark times, and they're pretty close because of it. I'd also just love to read through her bio, and discuss things as needed. <p>Suggested PB is Katheryn Winnick, but if you find someone who you think suits her better feel free to change her. <p>Feel free to contact me. I'm on the Tatem discord pretty much all the time, or you can dm me @YoRHaCrystal#0651 on Discord. </div></div>

<div class="body"><div class="scroll"> This is Katarina, and I pretty much want her to be made because of drama reasons. Because she'll bring all the drama!! <p>Katarina here is Thorir's ex-fiance, and she pretty much left him one day without any warning whatsoever. Seh just packed up her things, took their daughter with her, and ran away to be with someone else. <p>As far as personality, I am leaving it very open. I don't really have much on her, except I don't think she would be evil. There should something about her that help her get on with Thorir. The two of them were genuinely in love at one point, enough where they dated for ten years. Not to mention he proposed to her because he couldn't envision his life without her. And he's still in love with her. So much so that he refuses to get into another serious relationship because he just can't stop thinking about what they had. That and he just wants to spend time with his daughter, if nothing else. If you want her to have never loved him, then I want a good reason for that to be possible. Something realistic, ya know. <p>Her history is more or less entirely open. Her childhood, school years, and almost everything else is up to you. The only important bits involving Thorir is that they met when he was 23, so she'd be 20, and dated for ten years before he proposed. I picture him having proposed on the Christmas of their tenth year together, but we can discuss things if you want. Shortly after the proposal, she found out she was pregnant and later gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Then sometime after that she just left his life without any warning. I have it where she left to be with someone else, who we can always request later on if you like. But how things went from there are up to you. Did she marry the other person? Are they still together? Maybe she had another kid or two? It's pretty much entirely up to you, as are her reasons for not letting Thorir see his daughter. <p>Plot wise anything can happen. I really want these two to run into each other again for some drama because why not. It should be fun. Not to mention Thorir really wants to be a father to his little girl, and just wants to be a part of her life. He hates feeling like she might grow up never knowing who her father is. DX <p>Also if someone takes his sister up above, I imagine those two can plot as well. Because his sister probably hates her on principal, so there's lots of potential to be had there. <p>I'm pretty much leaving this very much open for the most part. Though I'd love to be involved in the creation process, and discuss things as necessary. Not to mention I'd love to read her bio, and just see what you come up with. <p>Feel free to contact me. I'm on the Tatem discord pretty much all the time, or you can dm me @YoRHaCrystal#0651 on Discord. </div></div>

<div class="body"><div class="scroll"> So this guy is Helena Caelum's big bro, Rasmus. He's pretty much so open that it's not funny. Like I'm willing to hand over complete freedom over to you because I really want bro and sis to have fun on the site. <p>

As far as his personality goes, I have often imagined him as being kinda moody and asshole. Upon first impression, he probably definitely comes off as an asshole, or at least super closed off. He doesn't really trust people. Doesn't want to trust people, but at the same time, he's not all that bad. Around his sister he opens up a bit more. He loves Elena dearly and will do anything to protect her. I have written him as having severe anger issues before, or at least when he was younger. Maybe he matured a bit after growing up and mellowed out some. I don't know. Honestly, the most important bits is that he is super close to his sister. So as long as he isn't a total asshole around her, then all is good. They're close, and she helps to remind him that he's not all that bad a guy. In other words, Rasmus can probably be described as a big, tough and intimidating guy who's really a big softie once you get to know him. ^-^ <p>

Same goes for his history. I'm leaving a lot of it open, and we can also discuss things as needed. He's about five years older than Helena and has always been rather protective of her. Always watching out for her and stuff. Their parents were killed in a car crash when Elena was eight, so he would have been thirteen. I think. So they were left as orphans and spent the rest of their younger years bouncing back and forth between foster homes. I've had it where his anger issues caused families to decide against adopting him in the past, so no one really wanted to take him in. Naturally, Helena stuck by him, stubbornly refusing to live in a house without her big bro. So in some ways, they were all each other had growing up. <p>

They were both muggles before being turned and grew up in Seattle, Washington. What he did at school is up to you. He can be a high school drop out if you want, or maybe he attended college for a bit. Maybe even graduated. Like I said it's up to you. Rasmus was around 22/23 when he was changed into a vampire while he was in England. His sire is Osgar, so feel free to chat up Shark with ideas and questions as to why he was turned, and all that good stuff. Maybe he was dying, or he just drew the other vampire's interest to him for some reason. It doesn't really matter. What does matter is that he is rather close to his sire? Sire helped teach him how to hunt, control his hunger, and generally live as a vampire. If someone wants to play the Sire, then feel free to discuss things with them. Two years after he was turned, Helena was involved in a nasty fatal incident that should have killed her. Rasmus found his sister bleeding out, and begged his sire to turn her. He didn't want to lose his sister but knew that he was still too weak to turn her himself without losing control. Or at least he thought he was too weak. Sire agreed and turned Helena. <p>

While I don't think they've spent the entirety of their years living together, I mean Helena probably insisted he let her do her own thing every now and then, the two have remained super close. They don't even really live with each other necessarily, but he does keep tabs on his baby sis. He has a habit of scaring potential boyfriends away, and all kinds of fun stuff. <p>

He's just super open, and I'd love to explore their relationship because it should be a load of fun. <p>

I listed Tyler Hoechlin as a potential PB, but you're free to use someone else if you find someone you like better. I just chose Tyler because I like him, and they were sibs in Teen Wolf. gif spam <3 </div></div>

<div class="body"><div class="scroll"> Say hello to Nimi's older brother, Evander. A lot of his personality and history is open for your own interpretation. Even his name can be changed if you wish to do. All I ask is that it stick with the Greek mythology theme. It's kind of a tradition in the family, and I'm stubborn and really committed to keeping it a thing. <p>

Other than that he's more or less open. All I ask is that him and Nimi be extremely close. They were both raised by their alcoholic, abusive father. Mother was killed not long after Nimi was born. I don't know how many memories he'd have of her because he would have been four at the time, but maybe he has some vague memories of their mother. I don't know. It's up to you. Father was an abusive asshole, and Evander did his best to protect Nimi as much as he could. He often threw himself in the way of dear dad, taking the brunt of the abuse so his sister wouldn't suffer. He tried to protect her from that. But of course he couldn't always be there. Once he started attending Hogwarts, then Nimi began to experience things that he tried to protect her from. Some of it worst than he might have imagined. <p>

So yes these two are extremely close, even if his personality isn't as extreme as Nimi's is. Just like her, I do imagine he has an addiction to violence but at the same time I see him as being more level-headed. Other than that most of his personality is completely open. <p>History is also more or less completely open. There are a few times I mentioned him in Nimi's history. Like him being the primary reason why she left a dangerous, dark wizard group a few years back. Pretty much saved her from potentially going to Azkaban. I feel like he'd also be a Death Eater like Nimi as well. If only because of his addiction for violence, as well as to watch out for his little sister. That and maybe he also believes in the cause. Everything else is open. Nimi's bio can be found here, if you want to look it over to help you get ideas and such. <p>

If you're interested in taking him feel free to contact me either on here or through the Tatem discord. I'd love to have him around, just to see what kind of dynamic they might bring to the site. Maybe some good ol' Brother and Sister chaos ;D <p>

Play-by is completely open as well. Suggested is Ben Barnes because I like his look, but you're free to use whoever you may like. So long as he has dark hair. </div></div>
